ELLETTSVILLE - Mark Taylor, 66, of Ellettsville, passed away at home on Thursday, July 4, 2019, with his beloved wife, Sandi, at his side.
Born April 19, 1953 in Wheeling, West Virginia, Mark was the son of Charles and Bertha (Donaghy) Taylor.

Mark worked in the insurance industry for most of his career. He was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge 1081, VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 604, and the American Legion Post 18.
